Harlequin’s AW26 arrival, Ondara, takes the calm energy of a distant horizon and brings it indoors using an incredible spray-dyeing technique. Each piece is individually pleated and shaped by hand before any dye touches it. That extra care creates a soft, undulating double ombré that feels effortless, atmospheric, and soothing.

CRAFT MEETS EVERYDAY USABILITY 

What makes these fabrics stand out is how the colours gently bleed into each other. You get subtle tonal shifts that catch the light, adding instant depth to a room without feeling busy. The palette draws straight from natural horizon lines, making these fabrics easy to mix into your existing space or layer with other Harlequin pieces.

THE ONDARA LINEUP 

ONDARA
The core wide-width fabric. Woven from 100% cotton, it packs a high Martindale rub count. That means it looks gorgeous as sweeping drapery, but it is tough enough for heavy-duty upholstery too. 

A lighter, sheer version designed primarily for curtains. It diffuses daylight beautifully, creating a soft, hazy glow in any room. 
The ideal coordinating plain sheer. Layer it behind Altura for a soft, double-sheer window setup that builds subtle texture.

HOW TO STYLE ONDARA 

Because the ombré moves horizontally like a gradient sky, these wide-width fabrics shine on large window expanses or smooth, rounded armchairs. 

Try hanging Altura sheers over Altura Plain for a breezy, multi-dimensional window finish. Or wrap a structural armchair in the 100% cotton Ondara fabric to make a calm, sculptural focal point. The soft, hazy tones do the heavy lifting for you, giving your home a grounded, pulled-together feel with zero hassle.
